It's 2075 what tech do you have that will be worth millions cause of how rare and antique it is
>>
at least antique gadgets from 100 years ago still work for their intended purpose if restored, what are you gonna do with a slab of glass and plastic that won't even turn on
>>
I'll be 83 years old (and likely dead) in 2075.

arent you kinda old to be on 4chan unc
>>108199770
the only 50 year old thing I can think of thats valuable are electric guitars and early synths. musicfags love overpaying for things

>scratched to shit iphone
No one wants that.
>>
>>108199782
Antique gadgets from 100 years ago weren't produced by the dozens of millions like iPhones.

>kids wasting their time online
Sad. At least I have an excuse. I fucked my life up (divorce, alimony, lost my house, my job..).

antique electronics 100 years ago weren't made of lead-free solder and millions of surface-mount resistors

>>108199827
My point was that if there's lots of something around it will not be worth much.
>>
Nothing from 2010 onwards will be worth keeping since everything has an exploding li-ion battery in it and requires the internet to function

>if there's lots of something around it will not be worth much.
that didn't stop millennials from driving up the price of retro game consoles, despite popular systems selling tens of millions of units, they're now worth more than their MSRP at launch
>>
>>108199905
PSP and 3DS both sold close to 100 million units each and look at their used prices now lmao
>>
>>108199889
caps explode
lead batteries leak
alkaline batteries leak
literally all fixable
>>
>>108199927
locked bootloaders will mean they won't do anything useful
>>
>>108199917
Same with the GameBoy Color. There are more of those than every revision of the PS3 ever made and they still sell for retardedly high prices.

>>108199889
>li-ion battery
Replaceable
>requires the internet to function
Lmao no they don't, I never even signed into my PS3 or PS4 the whole time I owned them.
>>
>>108199770
if anything was going to appreciate in value long term its probably none of my computer hardware
if any of them do its probably the SGI indy
>>
>>108199936
literally every bootloader thats over 3 years old has been cracked
not an issue over a 50 year span
>>
>>108199905
>millenials
That'd be Gen X, they know millenials want that shit and are trying to squeezer every penny they can from them. Even zoomies want that vintage stuff and are getting ripped by Gen X.

The most popular consoles from millenial eras also still sell for basically nothing, I keep finding PS1s everywhere for pretty much pocket change. Nintendo is a different story but Nintendofags have always been insane.
>>
>>108199936
People also called the PS3 unhackable and look at where that is now.

you’re a fucking loser bro

Yes, I think that was obvious.
And here you are going down the same path but even worse since you're young.
>>
>>108199927
what about yellowing CCFL LCD panels?
if you have to restomod basically everything on your antique hardware to make it usable why even buy one?
>>

I have a Philips CD104, one of the first CD players. It used a cast iron disc tray and a hall effect magnetic swing arm for the laser, it's practically indestructible, i have a disc with a huge crack in the middle and it plays that without skipping. It also used the original 14-bit 4x oversampling dual mono DACs. They go for 4-500$ on ebay right now. By 2075 I can't imagine how much they'll be worth for the audiophiles.

>>108199770
Anything with a non-removable rechargeable battery is destined to shit the bed eventually. This automatically disqualifies most Apple products. That being said, it's hard to tell, rarity doesn't necessarily correlate 1:1 with price, there are very few pre-WW2 cars left in the world. yet they go for considerably less than what an 80s Lambo would fetch, simply because pretty much everyone who'd give a shit about pre-WW2 cars is already 6 feet under. You need a balance between "old" and "people give a shit about it", PDP 11s are rare, and will probably become rarer as time goes on, but I doubt they'll ever reach a price of millions, unless inflation gets bad enough that a million in the future is what a thousand bucks is to us today

Making a parallel with cars, people do, indeed, buy old cars that need everything restomodded in order to run at all. It's safe to assume the same about tech

i have one of these too it is worthless the edge networks are gone

Thinkpad T480. And the cool thing: We will have super batteries, that will last a week, on most hardware.

i have a 2007 eeePC but the screen doesn't turn on

>>108199770
I had one of these that was signed by steve wozniak. I gave it to my sister after I upgraded though and the magic marker slightly wore off. It eventually wound up in my ewaste box at the back of my garage which I eventually dumpstered.
